Cuvar
Iris Merlot Malbec 2022 750ml
Malbec 53%, Merlot 47%
The varieties were hand-picked, de-stemmed into vessels and fermented separately. Gentle pump overs at varying times during the fermentation cycle extracted the ripe firm tannins. Natural yeast was used on 50% of the wine with added yeast on the remainder. Once the fermentation had completed the wines were pressed off to French barriques for a 14-month duration where they underwent natural malolactic fermentation.
4 Stars Cuisine: A deep deep ruby with lots of plums and red berry aromas alongside just the slighted hint of mint on the nose. The palate is generous and plush with sweet fruits flavours and supple tannins. Lengthy with good drinkability. bright acid.
